Why Is Summer Heated In The Summer In Ohio?

It is warmer in the summer than in the winter in Ohio. When it is summer in Ohio the sun is at its furthest north point and when the sun is at its most southern point it is winter in Ohio. In summer the Earth is inclined toward the sun and sunlight shines almost straight down. The noon summer sun is higher in the sky and the winter sun is lower as it casts longer winter shadows. The summer sun rises in the northwest and sets in the same direction. Thus, the sun spends more than 12 hours in the sky during the summer which is why it is warmer in the summer in Ohio. The sun is almost completely direct on the northern latitudes during the summer in Ohio causing warmer temperatures. Many people believe that the temperature changes between summer
and winter occur because of the Earth's distance from the sun however, this is false. The main reason is due to the Earth's axis tilt. The 23.5 angle and rotation is what causes summer. The light is not spread out as it usually is for the rest of the year. In the summer, the sun is concentrated in one area making it a lot warmer in Ohio than it is in the winter.
